Introduce yourselves here..

[Mr. Quick]

Hello,

My name is Shawn. I have been building various vehicles for years, and have always gravitated to EFI, even with the classic SBC's. Engine swaps are my love when it comes to building a vehicle. With my most recent project, I'm running into the issue of getting the gauges to work properly after an engine swap without going aftermarket bezel and individual gauges. (I like things to appear OEM)

I currently own a 2008 Pontiac G6, and I'm building a 95 Chevy Cavalier, which has been motor swapped to a 3400 with 3500 top end and high comp pistons, all mated to a 5 speed, which I'm working on swapping to 6 speed. Previous projects include a lifted 2000 Ranger, an 83 Chevy conversion van with a stroked 91 Vette TPI engine, an 81 Camaro with a TPI swap, and an 84 Camaro with a 93 Typhoon 4.3 powerplant.

I will be getting the VCM suite when the car is ready to drive again, but I currently have come here looking for information on the serial data structures for the gauges. I've researched the UART info that my 95 runs on, and I'm learning more about the Class II structure that the late 90's to early 2000's use. I'm also an amature electronics hobbyist, which includes microcontroller programming. My hope is to be able to interface/interpret the Class II data to run my 95 gauges, and ultimately make myself a custom cluster that actually looks OEM.

Other interests and abilites include mechanical design and custom fabrications. My brother-in-law is a CNC machinist, so I have designed many custom items which he makes for me, including motor mounts, EGR adapters, brake swap kits, and torsion bar to coilover conversion brackets for IFS trucks.

Hoping to make some new friends here and learn a lot!

Hello all. NEWB here. Just purchased the pro version. Will learn on my modded 1998 GTP. Hope to begin turbo 5.3 swap in my 3rd gen Camaro soon. Previous "tuning" experience was with a carb and a distributor (including jets, floats, pump squirters, dist curve kits, etc) LOL! When I modded my GTP (so many years ago), I watched narrow-band O2's and timing each time I made a change to her (looking for lean condition and KR). Recently helped a stunned kid with a supercharged Maxima who had accel stumble (well, backfire actually). I believe he had an E-manage (im old, dont remember, LOL). I was toying with the throttle and POP. Since I didnt know the interfaces menu, I asked him to find it for me, explained how accel pump works in a carb and how I felt it related to EFI and accel enrichment. He toyed with the settings and cleared the issue up. In my previous life, I was an automotive and diesel mechanic so I know my way around a car/truck

Well, sorry for the ramble. I have been looking at HPTuners for YEARS and I have been afraid to pull the trigger but FINALLY... POW!

Please pray for me... LOL!

Good morning folks,
My name is Bob Herrick and I live in Plano, Texas.
I've been a hot rodder for over 40 years, old school stuff, carbs and the like.
I've owned a HHR SS since 2009 when I bought it new.
I've been interested in the new way of tuning by computer for a while now and purchased HP Tunes this week.
I've got it running on a 13" MacBook Air using Parallels 9 with windows xp as a virtual machine.
It works just fine as I have already done a read and write on my HHR with no issues.
I have been reading and learning on the forum since 09 and am amazed at the level of sharing that goes on in the "new" tuning world.
Hp Tuners is a quality product and look forward to working with it.
-Bob

I build all kinds of engines and love fast vehicles of all sorts.
I started building Fords and SBC a few years ago then found myself into the LSX world as I love the versatility of the platform.
I am learning as I go but always staying informed and seeking knowledge to perfect the art.
I currently have a C5 that I am working on and hope to gain great knowledge and experience so that I can deliver tunes of the highest caliber.
Anyone interested in collaborating?

Thanks.
Shout out to TheTuningSchool for great material and help.

Hi all! I am back from 2006. I have been recommended here from the "other" forum (actually by the staff!) due to an LHU that I've been desperately trying to tune with the software still under development. I have the same user name there. Actually I have been lurking for a while to study LNF info, there are lots of great things to learn here. Glad to be back, I just want my car running right. I'll be careful what I post until I learn the rules here. I do have a website and YouTube channel for my racing videos. It's time to expand the horizon, I was kind of forced into overflowing here due to the Buick, but I'm glad!

[mufflerguy]

Morning all. My name is Rob............gawd I feel like I'm at an AA meeting or something! Anyways, for a living I build assembly lines and automated equipment for the manufacturing industry, mostly automotive. At home I custom fab headers/exhaust systems for race cars/show cars/street cars. I have started my own project that will be a 65 Chevy II, powered by an LM7 gm truck motor and S480 turbo. I know nothing about tuning, and I will be having Donny Walsh tune this thing for me. I am here to learn about what exactly what package I need to purchase for my project. Thanks for any help you can give me.
